INTRODUCTION
Accidents resulting from the manual handling of materials have been reduced by the use of
conveying and other forms of mechanical handling equipment. A further reduction in the accident rate
can be gained by following safe practices in the design, construction, installation, operation, and
maintenance of such equipment.
The design and installation of conveyors and conveyor systems should be supervised by qualified
engineers. Likewise, the operation and maintenance of conveyors and systems should be supervised
by trained personnel.
The purpose of this Standard is to present certain guides for the design, construction, installation,
operation, and maintenance of conveyors and related equipment.
Those portions of this Standard relating to maintenance and operation procedures are fully as
important as those relating to design and installation. The best design features may be negated by
faulty maintenance and operating practices. It is important that operating and maintenance personnel
be instructed in recognizing hazards and pertinent safety precautions.
1 SCOPE
This Standard applies to the design, construction, installation, maintenance, inspection, and
operation of conveyors and conveying systems in relation to hazards. The conveyors may be
of the bulk material, package, or unit handling types where the installation is designed for
permanent, temporary, or portable operation.
This Standard shall apply, with the exceptions noted below, to all conveyor installations.
This Standard specifically excludes any conveyor designed for, installed for, or used primarily
for the movement of human beings. This Standard does, however, apply to certain conveying
devices that incorporate within their supporting structure work stations or operator's stations
specifically designed for authorized operating personnel.
This Standard does not apply to conveyors such as underground mine conveyors for which
specific standards are already in effect, or to equipment such as industrial trucks, tractors,
trailers, automatic guided vehicles, tiering machines (except pallet load tierers), cranes, hoists,
power shovels, power scoops, bucket drag lines, trenchers, platform elevators designed to
carry passengers or an operator, man-lifts, moving walks, moving stairways (escalators),
highway or railroad vehicles, cableways, tramways, dumbwaiters, pneumatic conveyors,
robots, or integral machine transfer devices. Some of the foregoing have specific standards.
The provisions of this Standard shall apply to equipment installed one year after the date of
issuance.

Certain other codes and standards have been cited as references in this Standard. Reference
to them does not constitute inclusion of the complete text of such codes or standards as a part
of this Standard.
This Safety Standard for conveyors is supplementary to any law or code covering fire or
health regulations.
3 INTENT
The intent of this Standard is to provide for safe operation and maintenance of conveying
equipment.
Suggestions for improvement of this Standard may be submitted to the Secretary of the B20
Committee, ASME, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.
The B20 Committee will consider each suggested change at its first meeting after receipt of
the suggested change(s).
The B20 Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard.
Interpretations will be rendered only in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of
the B20 Committee, ASME International, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.
Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and provide a concise description.
Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the standard for which the interpretation is being

maintenance or service requires the conveyor to be in motion. In this case, per-
sonnel shall be made aware of the hazards and how the task may be safely
accomplished.
(a) At transfer, loading, and discharge points where unconfined and uncontrolled
free fall of material can result from flooding, ricocheting, overloading, trajectory,
leakage, or a combination thereof, such unconfined and uncontrolled free fall of
material shall be prevented if it would create a hazard to personnel.
(a) All openings to hoppers and chutes shall be guarded to prevent personnel from
accidentally falling or stepping into them or allowing any part of their body to
make contact with conveyors below them. Where guards are not practical,
warning signs shall be posted. If the hopper or chute is equipped with a grating
to protect against contacting the conveyors below, such grating will be
considered as sufficient guarding provided that one dimension of the opening
does not exceed 50 mm (2 in.).
(b) Dump hoppers having the hopper flush with the floor and which by their use
cannot be guarded shall be equipped with grating having a maximum opening
of 50 mm (2 in.) and shall be heavy enough to withstand any load of personnel
or trucks, etc., that may be imposed on it. If the openings in the grating are
larger or if no grating is provided, temporary railing guard shall be placed
around ground level hoppers when dumping operations are not in progress.
During dumping operations, warning signs shall be placed in conspicuous
locations warning personnel of an open pit. If there is a need to give operators

Table of Contents 1 General Info.
(a) Nip and shear points shall be guarded. Typical locations are:
(1) at terminals, drives, take-ups, pulleys, and snub rollers where the belt
changes direction
(2) where belts wrap around pulleys
(3) at the discharge end of a belt conveyor
(4) on transfers and deflectors used with belt conveyors
(5) at take-ups
(b) It is not the intent of this requirement to provide guarding along the conveyor
length where the belt rides on the carrying or return rollers.
(d) On overland conveyors, audible or visual (or both) signaling devices for
warning conveyor initiation shall be required only at the transfer, loading, and
discharge points, or at those points where personnel are normally stationed.
(a) Only trained personnel shall track a conveyor belt, which must be done while the
conveyor is operating.
(b) The practice of applying a belt dressing or other foreign material to a rotating
drive pulley or a conveyor belt is hazardous and should be avoided.
(c) The use of portable emergency stop controllers in lieu of permanently installed
pull cords, push button stations, etc., shall be permitted for maintenance
personnel who patrol overland conveyors. At those points where personnel are
normally stationed, the conveyors shall be equipped with permanently installed
pull cords or similar stop controllers.
6.2.1 Guarding
(a) Guards shall be provided at points where personnel could come in contact with
cables, chains, belts, and runways of exposed bucket conveyors.
Page 22 of 180
Table of Contents 1 General Info.
(b) Inspection doors or maintenance doors or both should include signs warning of
possible danger if opened or removed while the conveyor is in operation.
6.4.1 Safety Considerations. En masse conveyors are not considered as free standing
and are to be braced at intervals indicated by the manufacturer. Eccentric platform
loads or other lateral loads may require lateral bracing or other bracing or both.
6.4.2 Guarding. Inspection doors or maintenance doors or both should include signs
warning of possible danger if opened or removed while conveyor is in operation.
6.5.1 Safety Considerations. Inclined apron conveyors shall be equipped with lifting
blades when the conveyor inclination exceeds the angle of slide of the design
material.
6.5.2 Operation and Maintenance. At installation, flight and apron conveyors should be
"jogged" or hand run through at least one complete revolution to check design
clearances prior to running under automatic power.
Flight and apron conveyors handling sticky materials, which tend to build up, shall
be cleaned as often as required for safe operation.
Page 23 of 180
Table of Contents 1 General Info.
(c) Riding the conveyor shall be forbidden to all personnel. Warning signs to this
effect shall be prominently posted at each point of access and each point of
operation.

1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the control and operation philosophy for the overland conveying
system at the Antapaccay mine located at Cuzco, Peru. The overland conveying system is
designed to transport primary crushed copper ore between the Crusher Station and the Stock
Pile. It is designed for a maximum tonnage of 5,263 mtph.
The system control is performed by a main PLC interconnected to other system via various
networks. The system is designed to be operated by a single operator from one of two operator
graphic stations located in the concentrator and crusher control rooms.
The system consists of a Sacrificial Conveyor (0220-CVB-0001) and an Overland Conveyor (0220-
CVB-0002). The Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 is approximately 135 meters long with 6
meters of lift. The Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 is approximately 6,500 meters long with
220 meters of lift.
Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 is powered by one gearbox that is driven by one 250kW,
VFD controlled drive motor at the head end. Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 will operate
continuously and provide material to Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 as long as the
Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 continues to operate. If an unplanned stop of Conveyor
0220-CVB-0002 occurs, then Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 must be stopped immediately.
The Overland Conveyor is powered by Cycleconverter Speed Drives (CSD) and is equipped with
mechanical brake systems located at its tail end pulley and at the primary and secondary driven
pulleys.
Starting and stopping of the conveyor system will be done sequentially. Starting will begin with
the Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 and end with the Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001
(the Apron Feeder MRA-MHFA-00001, by others, will start after 0220-CVB-0001). Stopping will
be the reverse sequence of starting. For planned stops of the conveyor system plugging of the
transfer chutes is not a concern. In emergency stop situations the chutes will be filled with
excess material because the stopping times of all conveyors are not the same. To prevent
excessive spillage upon startup, the start signal for the Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 will
not be sent until the Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 has reached full speed and been
running for sufficient time that the transfer chute is free from excess material and can accept
the maximum drift capacity of the Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001. The start signal for the

Apron Feeder MRA-MHFA-00001, by others, should be sent when the Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-
CVB-0001 has been running at full speed for sufficient time to empty 100% volume of the
transfer chute between the two systems (full speed for 30 seconds).
Dust collector systems will be used to control the dust emission. These systems will be supplied
by Bechtel.
A general overview of the system, together with the belt profiles and drive configurations for
conveyors 0220-CVB-0001 and 0220-CVB-0002 are provided in the general arrangement
drawings. Additional information about these conveyors can also be found in the P&ID
drawings. Below is a list of reference drawings:

The Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 has an approx. length of 135 m and has a design
capacity of 5,263 mtph. It runs at a design belt speed of 2.9m/s. This conveyor receives material
from the Apron Feeder (MRA-MHFA-00001, by others) and transports material to the Overland
Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002.
Sacrificial Conveyor 0220-CVB-0001 is equipped with one 250 kW Squirrel Cage Motor with a
250 kW Variable Frequency Drive and a mechanical thruster brake.
The VFD and motor are designed to provide 200% of their nominal torque for up to 30 seconds
to accommodate short term motor overload without stopping the conveyor.
The belt tension of Sacrificial Conveyor is controlled by a gravity take-up located at the head
station.
The belt is equipped with a belt scale, mechanical belt rip switches and a metal detector in
addition to other accessories.
The Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 has an approx. length of 6500 m and has a design
capacity of 5,263 mtph. It runs at a design belt speed of 6.2m/s. This conveyor receives material
from 0220-CVB-0001 and transports material to a stock pile. Level indicator switches at the
head end of 0220-CVB-0002 will control the feed of the conveyor system. If the level is too high
the conveyor system will receive a stop signal.
The Overland Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 is equipped with two 3800 kW Synchronous Motors,
3800 kW and 63rpm (design speed of pulley is 63rpm to have 6.2m/s belt speed) with two 3800

kW Cycleconverter Speed Drives (CSD) and two mechanical disk brake systems. The drives and
control system are manufactured by Siemens.
The CSD drives are designed to provide 115% of their nominal torque continuously as needed.
The drives are used to accelerate and stop the conveyors under normal conditions.
Belt tension is controlled by a dynamic take-up winch used to position the take-up carriage.
The control system consists of one main PLC with s remote I/O stations located along the
conveying system route and the Crusher electrical room. The primary control will be from one
of two client DCS operator stations located in the crusher and concentrator control rooms. This
DCS control system is supplied by Bechtel.
Two graphical HMIs are provided for diagnostic and maintenance purposes. One is located in
Electrical House 0220-CVB-0001 at the sacrificial conveyor, and the other is located in Electrical
House 0220-CVB-0002 at the overland conveyor.
Each drive is also with a small operator interface panel for local maintenance and diagnostics.
Both conveyors and related devices have local control stations, typically with selectors and
pushbuttons for local operation.
All the system control and monitoring functions are performed by the PLC. The control and
monitoring of the Siemens SINAMICS SL150 Cycleconverter Speed Drives for the Overland
Conveyor 0220-CVB-0002 are performed by Siemens SIMOTION controller inside each
Cycleconverter Speed Drive.
The PLCs, the brake instrumentation, and all the critical field instrumentation are powered by
UPS’s to maintain control of the system in case of AC power failure.
All e-stop switches and pull cords are hardwired to safety relays independent of the PLC to
ensure fail-safe operation in the case of an emergency.
The main PLC rack is located at Electrical House 0220-ERR-0001 and has both main and
redundant S7-400 CPUs with separate power supplies. The main and redundant PLCs

communicate with the DCS via separate Ethernet ring networks. Both PLCs will be mounted on
the same 18 slot rack, on separate halves.
Both main and redundant CPUs connect to I/O, drives and other equipment via Profibus DP
control network.
The Profibus network connects the I/O, drives, pull cord system and brake controller to the main
and redundant PLCs via two independent Profibus networks. Each CPU can access the Profibus
network independent of the other. The Profibus network connects to equipment located in
both Electrical Houses.
The I/O, drives, pull cord controller and brake controllers are not redundant. A Profibus DP-Y
link is used to connect to the main and redundant Profibus networks. The I/O racks connect to
the main and redundant networks using independent communication adaptors.
At Electrical House 002, the Profibus network is connected entirely by copper coaxial cable. The
CPUs connect to the equipment in Electrical House 001 via two fiber optic redundant ring
networks. Independent Profibus cards are used in the PLC rack to provide independent access
to the Profibus rings for the main and redundant CPUs.
A power meter is also connected to the Profibus network which monitors the 480V subsystem.
Communications between the DCS and the PLC is via Ethernet. Dual redundant fiber optic rings
connect the Crusher control room to the PLC. One ring connects to the main CPU and the other
to the redundant CPU. Separate Ethernet cards are used in the PLC rack to provide independent
access to the Ethernet rings for the main and redundant CPUs.

Most equipment will have an LCS stations located in the field. The LCS’s are equipped with
different control selectors and pushbuttons. The following tables show the LCS arrangements:
For all LCS stations the H/O/A or M/A selection will be interlocked by the DCS. The LCS’s will be
inactive until the DCS interlock is released. The H/O/A and M/A selectors will be maintained 3
and 2 positions.
The On/Off selectors will be three positions with spring to centre return. Left will be on and
right will be off. The on/off will be momentary signals.

Control Narrative
The emergency stop and stop buttons of the conveyor LCS will always be active regardless of the
DCS interlock or operation mode of the equipment.
The signals from the motors cooling fans and water cooling pumps and fans of the synchronous
motors are sent by the PLC via Profibus. These cooling pumps and fans do not have any Local
Control Station for local or maintenance operation.
3 Control Modes
The control of the system will be by PLC and DCS. The PLC will provide all of the control logic
and the DCS will provide the operator interface. The HMIs at the Electrical Houses will provide
monitoring and maintenance diagnostic features only.
Each drive will have its own small operator panel for commissioning operation and local
diagnostics only.
Two remote operational control modes (Remote-Auto, Remote-Manual), one local control mode
and one maintenance mode are available. These mode selections depend upon the position of
equipment selectors in the field and interlocking by the DCS. These modes are described in the
following sections.
All field LCSs must be set to the AUTO position. The DCS interlock for all LCS’s must also be set
to REMOTE.
In remote mode, the conveying system will be controlled in fully interlocked automatic
operation only. This will be the normal operating mode. In remote mode, the conveyors can be
operated in AUTO of MANUAL.

The sequence starts with the warning horns and strobe lights on CVB-0001. After a 30 second
delay, the conveyor starts. When the conveyor is confirmed running, the warning horns are
stopped. The sequence continues with CVB-000 after CVB-0001 confirmed running, with the
same process as for CVB-0001.
When a system empty-stop command is issued, the feeder upstream of CVB-0001 is stopped.
When no material is detected by the belt scale a “conveyor empty” timer is started. When the
time expires the conveyor is stopped. The timer is reset if further material is detected by the
belt scale during the timing sequence.
When CVB-0001 stops an empty timer starts for CVB-0002 to allow CVB-0002 to discharge any
remaining material on the belt. Once this timer has expired, CVB-0002 will start its stopping
sequence.

When an empty stop is successfully completed a flag is set to record this event which is used to
interlock local operation at creep speed. Refer to the local mode description for further details.
The system sequence stop is identical to the empty sequence stop, except that the system does
not wait for the belt empty condition.
When an immediate-stop command is received from the operator, both conveyors are
commanded to stop with maximum deceleration independently of each other.
In remote manual, each conveyor can be started and stopped individually. Fully interlocked
operation still applies.

The sequence starts with the warning horns and strobe lights on the conveyor. After a 30
second delay, the conveyor starts. When the conveyor is confirmed running, the warning horns
are stopped.
When a system stop command is issued the conveyor drive system is commanded to stop.
Local mode is selected at the equipment local control station in the field. The selection of local
in the field is also interlocked by the DCS. The local mode will only be active when the LCS is set
to HAND and the DCS interlock for the conveyor LCS is set to LOCAL.
If PLC-DCS communications is lost, the PLC will allow local mode without DCS interlocking.
The local mode provides the ability to run each conveyor and major components independently
for maintenance purpose. In this mode, each conveyor or major component is operated from
push-button panels located in the field.
Most interlocks related to the equipment components are active; however interlocks between
equipment are not. The interlocks and permissive signals are described in detail later in this
document.
The conveyors must be stopped in order to switch to local mode. When switching to local
mode, the start/stop/jog/on/off selectors must not be active. If any command is active when
the LCS is switched an alarm is generated and the device will not start.

Maintenance mode is only for the conveyor drives. Each drive system has a local operator panel
which is used for detailed drive diagnostics and operation of the drive in a stand-alone
maintenance mode. This mode is will be used only for commissioning and drive
troubleshooting.
Maintenance mode can only be entered at the drive local operator panel and is interlocked by
the DCS, and only when the conveyors are stopped.
If PLC-DCS communications is lost, the PLC will allow maintenance mode without DCS
interlocking.
All equipment will have associated warnings and alarms. Warnings will not stop equipment
operation. Alarms will stop equipment depending on the operating mode and the interlocks.
Alarms generated from emergency devices (pull cords and e-stops) always stop equipment and
are hardwired independent of the PLC.
All warnings and alarms signals are always latched by the PLC. The signals may be used directly
or processed through a time delay or other logic to avoid fall trips.
Alarms and warnings must be reset by the DCS. If the signal that initiated the alarm is still
present, the alarm (or warning) will not be reset to avoid unnecessary re-triggering.
4.1 Reducer
The reducer has an oil circulation pump (0.75 kW motor, 230/460V, 3PH, 60Hz), and a heating
system consisting an immersion heater with integral thermostat control (2 kW heater, 480V,
3PH, 60Hz).
The reducer circulation pump runs whenever the conveyor drive is starting, running or stopping.
The reducer heating system operates whenever the circulation pump is running.
Rev B 18-Mar-11

Conveying System
Control Narrative
The reducer is cooled by a fan mounted on the high speed shaft. When the oil temperature is
above the allowable operating temperature a warning is sent to the DCS. When the oil
temperature is too low a warning is sent to the DCS. The conveyer shall be shutdown if the
switch that has caused the warning to be issued is not reset within 15 minutes of the warning
being sent to the DCS. This signal is derived from temperature switch.
The oil heater runs whenever the oil temperature is low. This signal is derived from integral
thermostat of heater.
The reducer cannot be operated without the circulation pump if the input RPM will not be
maintained at 750 RPM or higher.
The speed reducer is also equipped with four vibration sensor mounted at each reduction stage
and at the input shaft, one oil level switch and one oil flow switch.
The vibration sensor will have two set points. The DCS will display a warning if the lower set
point is exceeded (XXX above nominal values measured during commissioning). The DCS will
shutdown the conveyor if the higher set point is exceeded (XXX above nominal values measured
during commissioning). The DCS will also display the current vibration level.
The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if a signal is received from the low oil level switch.
The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if a signal is received from the flow switch indicating that
the oil pump is not producing flow, if the motor is operating below 750 RPM.
The brake system that is included with CVB-0001 is a thruster type brake and is only designed to

4.5 Pulleys
There are a total of five pulleys on Conveyor CVB-0001, one of which is driven by the 250kW
gearbox (head pulley). In addition to the drive pulley there is a tail pulley, a take-up pulley and
two bend pulleys. The drive pulley is equipped with one RTD in each bearing (two total for the
pulley).
Each of the RTD’s will have two set points. The DCS will display a warning if the lower set point
is exceeded (75°C). The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if the higher set point is exceeded
(85°C). The DCS will also display the current temperature.
The vertical Gravity Take-up provides constant take-up tension during operation. There are
four limit switches on the take-up tower to provide warning and shutdown signals as needed.
High-High position on the tower prevents the counterweight from colliding with the tower
structure during high tension conditions. When this switch changes state the DCS must
shutdown the conveyor.
High / Initial position on the tower will advise the operator that the counterweight is located in
the highest possible initial position for normal operation. When this switch changes state the
DCS will display a warning.
Low position on the tower will advise the operator that the belt has been subjected to sufficient
permanent elongation that belt replacement is needed or that the counterweight must be
raised to the High / Initial position. When this switch changes state the DCS will display a
warning.
Low-Low position on the tower provides alarm shutdown due to low tension condition or belt
breakage and also prevents the counterweight from touching the ground level and removing the
pretension (take-up tension) from the conveyor. When this switch changes state the DCS must
shutdown the conveyor.

If the Metal Detector senses a metallic item a signal is sent to the Material Marking equipment,
which is located downstream from the Metal Detector, and paint is sprayed onto the material
on the belt in the approximate area where the item was detected. Reset of the Metal Detector
must be done locally after removal of the metallic item.
The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if a signal is received from the Metal Detector.
The Belt Scale utilizes the output from a speed sensor located on the tail pulley and integrated
load cells to calculate the total amount of material that has travelled over it and the instant
capacity of the belt conveyor. Regular calibration of the scale is accomplished by manually
lowering a calibration chain onto the conveyor belt over the Belt Scale.
The DCS must display the total amount of material that has passed over it and also the instant
capacity reading. The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if a fault signal is sent from the Belt Scale.
The speed signal from the Belt Scale will also be sent to the DCS.
There are three “Mechanical” Belt Rip Detection Switches on this conveyor. One of the Belt Rip
Detection Switches is located after the loading zone under the carrying strand; one of the Belt
Rip Detection Switches is connected to the garland type impact idlers; one of the Belt Rip
Detection Switches is at the head end under the return strand.
The DCS will shut down the conveyor if a signal is received from any of the “Mechanical” Belt Rip
Detection Switches.
The Speed Sensor is located on one of the two bend pulleys and will be used to control the belt
speed via the VFD. This speed sensor is also used for zero speed / under speed detection and
over speed detection.
The slip of the conveyor at the drive pulley will be monitored by comparing the speed of the
bend pulley with the speed sensor to the speed of the drive pulley (from the VFD). The actual
speed will be the speed reported by the VFD and the reference speed will be the speed being
monitored by the speed sensor. Slip will be monitored during starting, normal running and
normal stopping; slip will not be monitored during power outage stops.

plugged chute switches.
The Warning Horns and Strobe Lights are audible and visual warnings to personnel that the
conveyor is going to start. There is a 30 second delay of the start of the conveyor after the
Warning Horns and Strobe Lights are activated. This delay will allow for personnel in the area to

The Belt Tension Monitor measures tension at the high tension pulley to monitor pulley loads
and maximum belt tension. The torque output values from the VFD must be recorded and used
to calculate the effective tension at each drive pulley. The effective tensions will then be used
to calculate the maximum tension in the belt with the following equation:
Where “i” is the reduction ratio (20.5:1), “DPull is the drive pulley diameter (0.952m), ΤPD is the
torque of the primary drive pulley (N-m), and TTU is the take-up tension (88,600 N). Please note

Two brake systems are included with CVB-0002; both are spring applied and hydraulically
released (fail safe). One brake system will be installed at the tail end and will be used for
stopping during instances that electrical power is not available. The second brake system will be
installed at the head end and is only designed to prevent the conveyor from rolling backwards
when stopped. Each brake system consists of two brake discs with one caliper each. Both discs
are mounted to the tail pulley for the tail end system. The head end system has one disc
mounted on each drive pulley.
Both brake systems will be signaled to release the brake discs when the holding torque is
confirmed in the start sequence. This signal cannot be given if either brake controller reports a
system fault.
Both braking systems are equipped with their own digital controller and encoders to provide the

without electrical power.
For powered stops, both brake systems will be signaled to apply, or clamp the brake disc, when
the conveyor speed is at or below 3%, but prior to 0% to ensure no roll back.
The brake system at the tail end will apply full braking torque and follow a nearly linear stopping
ramp to stop the conveyor in 15 seconds during instances that electrical power is not available
for stopping. In these instances, the brake system at the head end will need to remain released
until the conveyor is at 3% speed. Pressure in the hydraulic circuits will be maintained using
accumulators.
The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if the brake controller reports a system fault during normal
operation.
Each brake system comes with a fully redundant hydraulic circuit and the DCS will alternate
which hydraulic pump is used to release the brakes by sending a signal indicating which pump
shall be used. The operator will also be able to manually override this command and select
either pump in case one pump requires maintenance.
Each brake system is equipped with a pressure differential switch for dirty filter indication, a
dual switch that monitors releasing/applying the brakes and also pad wear, a high temperature
switch and a low oil level switch.
The DCS will display if the brakes are applied or released. Each caliper (pad) has its own switch.
The DCS will display when the pads have worn sufficiently to require adjustment. Each caliper

load for normal running needs to be shared at a ratio of 60% on the primary drive pulley and
40% on the secondary drive pulley. The maximum allowable continuous power draw for either
of the drives is 4,370 kW.
The motors are equipped with a common cooling system for both motors. The cooling system
will be operating any time the drives are operating. The cooling system is equipped with
redundant pumps and fans to ensure that cooling will be available. The cooling system must be
operable in order to operate the conveyor. In the case that the cooling system reports a fault
during operation an alarm shutdown will be initiated by the DCS.
Each motor is equipped with (6) slot thermometer RTDs, (2) air inlet thermometer RTDs, (1) air
outlet thermometer RTD, (4) cooling fans, (1) speed encoder and (4) instruments that will
monitor the air gap between the rotor and the stator.
Each of the RTD’s will have two set points. The DCS will display a warning if the lower set point
is exceeded (T+10°C). The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if the higher set point is exceeded
(T+10°C). “T” is the normal operation temperature of the motor, but the temperature should
not exceed 140°C before commissioning. The DCS will also display the current temperature.
Either temperature switch will initiate a conveyor shutdown when a change of state takes place.
One temperature switch is in the rotor and one temperature switch is in the stator.
An air gap of 8mm in between the rotor and stator is required for operation. A warning will be
issued by the DCS when the air gap is less than 7mm. An alarm shutdown will be issued by the
DCS when the air gap is less than 6.5mm. The DCS will also display the current air gap between
the rotor and stator.
The conveyor Cycloconverters will be operated in “Speed Mode” and will maintain the conveyor

In the case that one of the motors is inoperable the procedure is as follows:
After Stop from normal Operation the motor can be operated with 200% overload for 2 minutes.
Afterwards a cool down phase of 9 minutes is obligatory. This can then be followed by 2 more
minutes with 200% overload period again. An overload period should not be started unless the
stator and rotor temperatures are less than 85°C.
Longer overload periods beginning from a lower temperature level do not have advantage. In
this case the cool down phase has to be increased due to the higher temperature range.
If the motor was powered above 100% load, a cool down phase has to follow before an overload
period can start.
If the emergency operation starts from nearly cold motor conditions, (stator and rotor < 50°C),
the overload period can be 6.5 minutes. Afterwards the motor can be operated as described
above after a 9 minute cool down phase.
During the cool down phase the motor cooling system must stay in operation.

5.4 Pulleys
There are a total of twenty four pulleys on Conveyor CVB-0002, two of which are driven by the
two 3800kW Cycloconverter Speed Drives. In addition to the two drive pulleys there is a head
pulley, a high tension bend pulley, two low tension bend pulleys, a take-up pulley, a tail pulley,
eight horizontally mounted turn-over pulleys and eight vertical/45-degree mounted turn-over
support pulleys. The head pulley, high tension bend pulley, the two drive pulleys and the tail
pulley are equipped with one RTD in each bearing (two total for each pulley). The two drive
pulleys are also equipped one vibration sensor in each bearing (two total for each pulley).
Each of the RTD’s will have two set points. The DCS will display a warning if the lower set point
is exceeded (75°C). The DCS will shutdown the conveyor if the higher set point is exceeded
(85°C). The DCS will also display the current temperature.
Each of the vibration sensors will have two set points. The DCS will display a warning if the
lower set point is exceeded (XXX above nominal values measured during commissioning). The
DCS will shutdown the conveyor if the higher set point is exceeded (XXX above nominal values
measured during commissioning). The DCS will also display the current vibration level.
The conveyor take-up is managed by a vector controlled winch that is designed to maintain a
constant tension of 157 kN. During acceleration and deceleration the take-up pulley (carriage)
will move, due to the change of belt slack in the system. In these cases the winch will either pay
in (winch pulling cable onto winch drum) or pay out (conveyor pulling cable from the winch
drum). The winch is designed to pull with higher force for the acceleration and deceleration
cases to accommodate any difference in response time between the winch and conveyor. The
force with which the winch will pull will vary and will be whatever is required to maintain a line
speed between 0.10 and 0.20 meters per second.
In the case when one of the two synchronous motors is inoperable, the take-up winch will be
required to increase the take-up tension above 157 kN. When one drive is inoperable and the
conveyor is loaded with material, the take-up will go from being dynamic to being fixed and the
tension will be increased to 295 kN and held on the winch brake. The conveyor will be emptied
using the remaining drive with the increased take-up tension. When one drive is inoperable and
the conveyor is empty, the take-up will be dynamic and the tension will be maintained at 157
kN. In this case the conveyor will only be able to transport 1800 mtph for the highest friction
case and 2450 mtph for the lowest friction case.

There are four limit switches on the take-up carriage runway to provide warning and shutdown
signals as needed.
Over travel position #1 on the carriage runway advises the operator that the carriage is not
positioned correctly and that it is encroaching on a collision. When this switch changes state the
DCS must issue an alarm. This condition occurs when tension of the conveyor is such that the
carriage movement will require the winch to pay out.
Over travel position #2 on the carriage runway prevents the carriage from colliding with the
conveyor structure. When this switch changes state the DCS must shutdown the conveyor. This
condition occurs when tension of the conveyor is such that the carriage movement will require
the winch to pay out or could occur due to the winch cables breaking.
End travel position on the carriage runway will advise the operator that the belt has been

Permissives are defined as signals which are local to the equipment and must be in the correct
state for the equipment to operate. Different sets of permissives may apply in different modes.
Interlocks are defined as signals from other devices or equipment which must be in the correct
state for the equipment to run. When one or more interlocks are present, the equipment is
“Interlocked”. Different sets of interlocks may apply in different modes.
When all permissives and interlocks are in the correct state, the equipment is “Ready to start”.

Word 0 in the data interface is used to check DCS to PLC s communications. The DCS and PLC
will continuously update this value by incrementing the count by one. When the full range
count is reached (65,535) the count will start again at 0.
The PLC will monitor the value from the DCS. If the value does not change within 1 second, the
PLC will declare a communications failure. The PLC will set the entire command data table to 0
which will create an immediate stop of all devices. In addition, all LCS s will become operational
to allow local control of the equipment.
The DCS will similarly monitor the PLC communications heartbeat value.

9 Safety Systems
The conveyors are equipped with safety devices for protection of operations personnel. All
safety systems are hard-wired to protect against possible failure of the system due to a software
error.
Emergency stop circuits consist of pull cords and emergency stops. Emergency stop buttons are
mounted on the conveyor LCS’s, one for CVB-001 and three for CVB-002
Pull cords are installed along each side of the conveyors. For CVB-001, standard pull cords with
double contacts are used. One contact is wired to a safety relay and the other to the PLC input.
For CVB-002, the pull cords are monitored using an intelligent control system. One hard wired
contact is maintained for safety and is connected to the safety relay. The system monitors all
the pull cords via a bus system. The PLC communicates via Profibus with the monitoring system
to determine to status of the pull cords.
Each conveyor emergency circuit is hard-wired to its own safety relay. The safety relays
interface directly with the conveyor drives.
Each conveyor has multiple warning horns an strobes along its entire length. For CVB-001 the
horns and strobes are controlled directly by the PLC. For CVB-002, the horns and strobes are
controlled indirectly from the PLC via the pull cord intelligent control system.
The warning horns sound for 30 seconds prior to the conveyor starting, and are silenced when
motion is detected.
The strobes are activated whenever the conveyor is starting or running. The strobes are only
de-activated when there is no start command and the conveyor is physically stopped.

2.1 Principles
In addition to the operating manual, all other generally applicable legal and
mandatory regulations relating to accident prevention and environmental
protection must be observed.
If required on site, the user may draw up, at his responsibility, additional
instructions for the operation and maintenance of the machine/plant, in
consultation with the local authorities and according to the local laws and
regulations.
These compulsory regulations may also deal with the handling of hazardous
substances and wearing of personal protective gear.
ThyssenKruppRobins
When carrying out maintenance work only use tools and workshop
equipment suitable for the task in hand.
2.3 Personnel
It is prohibited to drink alcohol and take drugs before and during working
hours.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine/plant must have read the
manual and in particular the chapter on safety before beginning work.
Reading the instructions after work has begun is too late. This applies
especially to persons working only occasionally on the machine/plant, e.g.
during setting up or maintenance.
Only persons wearing the statutory protective clothing may access the
machine/plant. Personnel must, at the very least, wear a hard hat, safety
glasses and safety shoes.
For safety reasons, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured,
garments must be close-fitting and jewellery - such as rings – must not be
worn. Injury may result from getting up in the machinery or from rings
catching on moving parts.
Protective clothing
Hard hat
Safety shoes
Protective gloves
Familiarize all personnel with all safety devices and warning signals before
ThyssenKruppRobins
Danger!
Operators must be familiar with all safety regulations and safety devices in
order to react immediately in case of emergency. The user is responsible for
training his staff accordingly and to keep the training standards at a high
level. Safety regulations and safety devices must be checked regularly and
must not be rendered inoperative.
Any work on and with the machine/plant must be carried out only by reliable
personnel who are able to carry out the job both physically and mentally.
Statutory minimum age limits must be observed.
Employ only trained or instructed staff and set out clearly the individual
responsibilities of the personnel for operation, set-up, maintenance and

ThyssenKruppRobins
Section II) of this manual refers to the typical hazards of the machine/plant
in operation which cannot be prevented even if all safety regulations have
been observed.
Ensure that all consumables and process materials are disposed of properly
with no environmental impact. All applicable national regulations for the
protection of the environment must be complied with.
Observe the legal regulations governing fire protection and prevention and
supplement them with the company’s own instructions. Consult the
insurance company’s fire experts for this purpose.
The supervisors must inspect the fire fighting equipment and installations at
regular intervals to ensure that they are always ready for use. Particular
attention must be paid to areas which can easily catch fire.
The assembly units and assembly groups which heat up during operation
due to the electrical and/or mechanical load, to which they are subjected,
must be monitored by the staff responsible for this equipment. This applies,
for example, to blowers, gear units, bearings, motors, oil lubrication and
ThyssenKruppRobins
hydraulic systems.
Personnel must be familiarized with the use of fire extinguishers so that they
can fight fires using the type of extinguishers suitable for the particular fire.
• Use water on burning wood, rubbish, fabrics, jute, paper, belts etc.

• First priority:
damage to the supporting structure anchors and foundations
including foundation settlement
• Second priority:
operational related damage.
ThyssenKruppRobins
The scope of the inspection shall be consistent with the intensity of the
earthquake:
• minor earthquakes:
inspection for misalignment
• moderate earthquakes:
damage may occur both in the linings and claddings as well as to the
utility service lines. Misalignments due to foundation movement are
also possible.
• strong earthquakes:
damage to the supporting structure and the mechanism may occur.
Inspection of all supporting elements and mechanical components is
necessary.
Only use the machine/plant within the limits of its designated use, which are
specified in the contract of supply for the machine/plant. ThyssenKrupp
Robins cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from any misuse. The
risk of such misuse lies entirely with the user.
Operating the machine/plant within the limits of its designated use also
involves observing the instructions set out in the operating manual and
complying with the maintenance directives.
Caution!
Only operate the machine/plant in its original condition and only use spare
and wear parts supplied or approved by TKRI.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Before the equipment is powered, all checks and tests which can be carried
out should be completed including:
• Ensure the correct fluid level in all gearboxes, fluid couplings etc.
ThyssenKruppRobins
• All technical and operational safety rules and regulations have been
established, and must be complied with.
• The System must have been inspected, and foreign materials etc.
removed.
• Material throughput
• Maintenance and repair work carried out, including the name of the
person(s) carrying out the work
• Unusual occurrences
Organize shift changes so that the shifts overlap. This ensures that all
important information, in addition to that entered in the log book, is passed
on.
ThyssenKruppRobins
When working at or with the machine, always wear the specified protective
gear.
All braking systems must be checked to ensure that they are in perfect
working order.
Check the machine/plant at least once per working shift for obvious damage
and defects. Report any changes (including changes in the machine’s
working behaviour) to the responsible person immediately. If necessary,
shut the machine/plant down immediately and lock it.
During the start-up and shutdown procedures always watch the indicator
instruments/displays in accordance with the manual!
ThyssenKruppRobins
Danger!
Do not carry out cleaning, inspection and maintenance work unless the
machine/plant is shut down.
Caution!
For the safety of the machine and for your own safety all maintenance work
must be carried out on time. Do not postpone maintenance work. The
manufacturer does not accept liability for damage resulting from
maintenance work that is not carried out or has not been carried out on
time.

maintenance work.
Locking the principal control elements and removing the key and/or
attaching a warning sign to the main switch.
Before restarting the machine/plant after repair work, check that all safety
devices are fitted and in working order.
To avoid the risk of accidents, individual parts and large assemblies being
moved for replacement purposes should be carefully attached to lifting
tackle and secured. Use only suitable and technically perfect lifting gear and
suspension systems with adequate lifting capacity. Never work or stand
under suspended loads.
For carrying out overhead assembly work always use specially designed
safety-oriented ladders and working platforms. Never use machine parts as
a climbing aid. Wear a safety harness when carrying out maintenance work
at heights.
Keep all handles, steps, handrails, platforms, landings and ladders free from
dirt, snow and ice.
Always tighten up any bolted connections that have been loosened during
maintenance and repair work.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed of safely and
ecologically.
Use only original fuses with the specified current rating. Shut down the
machine/plant immediately when faults occur in the electrical system.
If provided for in the regulations, the power supply to parts of machines and
plants on which inspection, maintenance and repair work is to be carried out
must be cut off. Before starting any work, check that the shutdown parts are
de-energized and connect to earth or short-circuit them in addition to
insulating adjacent live parts and elements.
Necessary work on live parts and elements must be carried out only in the
presence of another person who can cut off the power supply in case of
danger by actuating the emergency stop or main power switches. Cordon
off the working area with a red-and-white safety chain and set up a warning
sign. Use insulated tools only.
Before starting work on high-voltage assemblies and after cutting off the
power supply, the supply cable must be connected to earth and
components, such as capacitors, short-circuited with an earth rod.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Before carrying out welding, flame-cutting and grinding operations clean the
machine/plant and its surroundings from dust and other inflammable
substances and make sure that the premises are adequately ventilated (risk
of explosion).
Check all lines, hoses and bolted connections regularly for leaks and
obvious damage. Repair damage immediately. Splashed oil may cause
injury and fire.
When handling oil, grease and other chemical substances observe the
product-related safety regulations.
4.2 Inspection
Caution!
Inspection is intended to recognize well in advance any essential repair
works in order to be able to make the necessary preparation and to carry
out the work. Check the plant at least once per shift for obvious damage
and defects. Report any changes (including changes in the machine’s
working behaviour) to the responsible person immediately.
In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine/plant immediately and lock it.
Have any defects rectified immediately.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Machinery and equipment should not continue to be operated until they fail
completely. Monitoring the condition of the equipment is quite simple. Four
techniques are commonly used to monitor the condition of the equipment
which is sophisticated, portable and always available. They are the four
senses: touch, hearing, smell and sight.
These four senses can recognize:
1) Any increases or decreases in temperature (touch and smell).
2) Any increases or decreases in vibration (touch).
3) Any change in noise or sound from the machine (hearing).
4) Any visual or observed changes and problems (sight).
Temperature
Danger!
Bearings, couplings, brakes, gear units, electric motors, engines and their
components may become so hot that you risk being burnt when touching
them.
Vibration
Another method commonly used to “feel” the condition of a machine is to
determine how much vibration exists on the machine. By touching the
bearing, high temperature and vibrations can be felt. The amount of
vibration cannot be measured this way, but it can be compared with the
ThyssenKruppRobins
Listening
Another method used to identify irregularities on machinery and equipment
is to listen for changes in sounds coming from machines while operating
under normal load and speed conditions. This can be done by placing a
screwdriver blade on the bearing housing and, in a safe position, allowing
your ear to touch the screwdriver handle and listen to the internal sounds
coming from the bearing. Abnormal noises may be detected and traced to a
specific component of the machine by experienced maintenance personnel.
Grinding, squeaking and other irregular sounds can point to worn bearings.
The squeaking noise is often caused by inadequate lubrication. Insufficient
bearing clearances can make a metallic sound. Indentations in the outer
ring raceway will produce smooth, clear sounds, and ring damage caused
by shock loads or hammer blows lead to sounds varying in frequency
according to the operating speed of the machine. Intermittent noises
probably indicate damage to the rotating members. Contamination in the
bearing produces a rough grinding sound. Damaged bearings produce
irregular and loud noises. Good bearings run smoothly and produce a
constant humming sound.
Sight
Maintenance personnel can simply observe the equipment to see if there is
anything out of the ordinary happening.
Check for any apparent oil leaks or grease leaks around seal areas or if any
of the bearing housings are loose, cracked or improperly assembled. Check
the lubricant. Discoloration or darkening of the oil is usually a good
indication that the lubricant is either contaminated or worn out. It is also very
important to check whether there is sufficient lubricant. Is the lubricant the
proper one for the application? Check whether the air vent is free from
obstructions.
Take a small sample of used oil and compare it with new oil. If the used oil
is cloudy in appearance, water has more than likely mixed with it, therefore,
the oil must be replaced.
Dark or thick oil is a sure sign of contamination or that the oil has started to
carbonise.
Overheating may have caused this problem.
4.3 Maintenance
ThyssenKruppRobins
measures.
Note!
Periods when the plant is shut down for repairs must also be used for
scheduled servicing work.
The servicing table (section II) is a guideline for inspection and maintenance
work.
Danger!
For maintenance and repair work strictly follow the general safety
instructions included in section III.)
ThyssenKruppRobins
Note!
For lubricating the machine/plant please refer to section III.)
As recommended for the initial start-up, you are advised to have repairs
carried out by ThyssenKrupp Robins staff the first time. In that way, your
maintenance staff will have the opportunity of taking part in an intensive
training course.
Danger!
Danger! Do not carry out cleaning, servicing or repair work unless the
machine is shut down. Secure the system against inadvertent restarting.
Danger!
Always wear safety masks when carrying out cleaning work with high-
pressure or steam jet cleaners.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Do not direct the spraying jet at electrical devices, relays and control
cabinets/boxes, intake filters and ventilation filters or greased surfaces.
Always hold the spray nozzle at an adequate distance from the surface
being cleaned and do not direct the spray jet directly at these surfaces.
Clean places which are difficult to reach with suitable equipment such as
special brushes.
After cleaning check all lubricant and hydraulic oil lines for leaks, loose
fittings, scouring and damage. Immediately rectify or repair any defects.
TKRI cannot be held liable for defects or damage resulting from the use of
unsuitable or improper lubricants.
ThyssenKruppRobins
Danger!
• For safety reasons, all work in connection with lubrication must be
carried out only with the machine/plant shut down and at operating
temperature.
This guideline does not exclude the use of lubricants with the same
properties but of another make. However, do not mix lubricants.
Storage of lubricants:
ThyssenKruppRobins
Caution!
On the basis of the existing safety regulations, persons not directly required
for operating the plant have to leave the site or keep well away from the
plant when it is commissioned.
• Before filling the liquid, tanks and pipes must be flushed, subjected
to a pressure test and checked once again to see if they are clean.
ThyssenKruppRobins
• Prior to their initial start-up, the pumps and motors must be filled
through the leakage oil port.
• The operating temperature must be measured not only in the oil tank
but also at the bearing points of the pumps. A temperature rise
indicates wear (growing friction and leakage by converting hydraulic
energy into heat).
ThyssenKruppRobins
• Store pumps, valves, cylinders etc. in a dry place away from moist
air.
• The storage rooms must be free from caustic materials and vapours.
A fill of anticorrosive oil is recommended. This oil must be compatible
with the future oil grade. The oil film remaining after draining the
anticorrosive oil must not affect future use.
Danger!
Note the safety instructions relating to maintenance (section 1).
To avoid the risk of accidents, individual parts and large assemblies being
moved for replacement purposes should be carefully attached to lifting
tackle and secured. Use only suitable and technically perfect lifting gear and
suspension systems with adequate lifting capacity. Never work or stand
under suspended loads.
For carrying out overhead assembly work always use specially designed or
otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working platforms. Never use
ThyssenKruppRobins
machine parts as a climbing aid. Wear a safety harness when carrying out
maintenance work at heights.
Danger!
Do not carry out maintenance and repair work unless the machine/plant is
shut down.
Replace worn components without delay. Worn components are less stable
and are liable to break more easily.
Do not re-use seals and safety elements that have been removed.
Always use new bolts, nuts and washers when putting assembly groups and
parts back in place.
Observe the rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents when
welding work is carried out.
During electric welding, secure the earthing cable near the part being
welded. Do not route the welding current return line over movable machine
elements (e.g. shafts, bearings). For bridging fit a cable with across section
adequate for the welding current and for the distance to be covered by the
current.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Conveyor belt not yet in place:
The metal detector should be mounted midway between idlers and away from any motors, pulleys, or
magnets.
Lower the unit carefully into position over the predrilled stringers. Bolt the metal detector securely into
position and ensure that when the belt is installed that there is 2” clearance between the underside of the
conveyor belt and the bottom of the metal detector.
The metal detector should be mounted midway between idlers and away from any motors, pulleys, or
magnets.
The end OPPOSITE the control cabinet is detached by removing the 16 hex head bolts – eight on top
and eight on bottom.
The belt is then raised and the metal detector is slid into position around the conveyor belt. A suitable
support such as wooden planks should be used to support the detector during this phase of the
installation. NOTE: Care should be taken in lifting the metal detector. Under no circumstances should
be unit be lifted by the open end of the top sensing head.
The end plate should now be replaced and the bolts tightened to 70 foot-pounds.
The metal detector is then lowered between the stringers until the mounting feet rest on top of the
stringers.
The mounting holes of the unit are then aligned with the predrilled holes in the stringers and the two
units are securely bolted together.
Extra holes must not be drilled into the body of the metal detector.
The body of the metal detector must not be twisted or strained in any way.
There should be a 2” clearance between the underside of the belt and the bottom sensing head of the
metal detector.
The detector is now ready for wiring to a power source and any auxiliary devices.
Page 1
Table of Contents 4.1 Metal Detector 4 Eqpt. Manuals
NOTES:
1. If the conveyor belt has a metal belt splice or metal repair clips, then the metal detector will
require the use of an optional belt splice sensing system for correct operation.
2. When the metal detector is fitted with a remote mounted control cabinet, the cabinet should be
securely mounted to a solid structure. The cable from the sensing head to the control cabinet
should be run in conduit and be securely fastened every 12”.
3. Belts, slides, guides, etc. must not rest on the lower sensing head or touch the sides of the metal
detector aperture.
4. Pipes, conduits, etc. must not pass through the aperture of the metal detector.
5. Under no circumstances should the end plate fitted with the control cabinet be removed.
6. All metal detectors require a “metal free zone”. The metal free zone for the Model 9000 detector
is 48”. The detector should be mounted in the center of the 48” metal free zone. If the idler
spacing is less than 48”, the rollers of the idler could interfere with the detector and should be
replaced with high impact rubber. The metal free zone is shown in the Model 9000 outline
drawing shown below and on page 15 of this manual.
Page 2
Table of Contents 4.1 Metal Detector 4 Eqpt. Manuals
Electrical Installation
The metal detector is designed to operate on 115 vac +/- 10% and requires 40 watts of power.
A power feed free of motor start-up transients or other interference should be used.
All electrical connections to the metal detector are made to a terminal panel inside the control
cabinet.
Terminals 4, 5 and 6 are a set of isolated contacts that change over and latch when metal is detected.
All relays contacts are reset by momentary contact closure of terminals A & B on the right hand side
of the terminal strip or by depressing the reset button mounted on the control cabinet door.
Terminals 7, 8 and 9 provide a source of 115 vac for the operation of the “Ready” and “Detection”
lights and the metal marker system (if supplied). Please refer to the electrical wiring diagram and
also the electrical connection chart on page 6 for details.
On detection of metal, the red detection light on top of the control cabinet turns on. This light is
turned off by the metal detector reset button.
Power to the metal detector should be left on at all times, whenever possible.

Metal Marker
On detection of metal, the optional metal marker assembly will drop a brightly colored disc of plastic
material onto the conveyor belt at the approximate location of the metal contamination.
The metal marker should be located outside the metal detector’s metal free zone to avoid false triggers
caused by the movement of the mechanism. The recommended distance is 36” from the metal detector.
The timing of the metal marker can be controlled by the “delay” adjustment in the metal detector control
cabinet. Adjust the delay time until the colored block falls directly on top of the belt where the
contamination is located.
The metal marker is wired to the metal detector via terminal 7 (normally open contact) and a neutral
terminal (2, 12, 15, or 16).
The metal marker will not operate during the one minute warm up time of the detector.
The splice detector sensing head is mounted approximately 24” upstream from the metal detector. It
should be mounted near the edge of the conveyor belt and parallel to the belt. Please refer to the sketch
on the opposite page. The sensor should be mounted 3” upstream from the idler.
In some instances, the belt splice sensor may not be able to detect the splice as it approaches the
detector. This may be because the splice is relatively small or it may be made of a type of metal that is
hard to detect, such as stainless steel. It may be necessary to install a “target” on the splice to ensure
detection. A typical “target” would be a 4” square piece of steel shim stock installed on the conveyor
belt with bolts or pop rivets.
The theory of operation of the belt splice sensing system is quite simple. As the splice approaches the
metal detector, it is first detected by the splice sensor. The splice sensor sends a signal to the metal
detector and tells it to reduce its sensitivity to allow the belt splice to pass undetected. The sensitivity of
the metal detector during this time is controlled by the “Splice Sensitivity” and the amount of time is
controlled by the “Splice Time”. The “Splice Time” should be set long enough to allow the splice to
pass totally through the metal detector zone. If the detector comes back to full sensitivity too soon, it
will detect the splice as it leaves the metal detector zone.
The “Splice Sensitivity” can be set from 0-10. At 10, the detector has 100% of normal sensitivity. At 5,
it has 50% of normal sensitivity and at 0, the detector is virtually turned off. The idea is to reduce the
sensitivity of the metal detector to the point where it will just allow the splice to pass undetected.
The unit is supplied already wired. Please refer to the electrical schematic on Page 14 for details.
Page 5
Table of Contents 4.1 Metal Detector 4 Eqpt. Manuals
Start-Up Procedure
Metal detector installed without belt splice sensing system:
Allow approximately one minute for the metal detector to warm up and calibrate itself.
Place a jumper across the two pins labeled “L” and “D” on the circuit board of the metal detector. The
pins are located just above terminals 15 & 16. This will prevent the metal detector from stopping the
conveyor during the set-up process.
With the conveyor belt loaded with a typical burden of product, set the “Sensitivity” control to 4 and
begin with the “Product” control set to 1. Allow the product to run and determine if the metal detector is
triggering on the burden. If the metal detector fails to reset, or if it trips constantly, move the “Product”
control to 2. Keep the “Sensitivity” control at 4. Please note that the detector may trip when you move
the settings from one number to another. This is normal for both the “Product” and “Sensitivity”
controls. Move the setting and then give the detector a moment to settle down before changing the
setting again. Continue increasing the “Product” control one number at a time until the metal detector
resets and does not trip on the product. Make note of the setting on the “Product” control where it
allows the product to pass. Continue to increase the setting one number at a time until the metal detector
again begins to trigger on the burden. Make note of this setting also. Set the “Product” control midway
between the two settings you just determined. Now increase the “Sensitivity” control one number at a
time until the detector begins to trip on the product (or burden). When it does, reduce the sensitivity one
or two numbers and that should be the final setting. These settings should hold true unless there is a
large change in the moisture level of the product or the mass of the burden.
Remove the jumper from the “L” & “D” pins and test the metal detector by dropping a piece of metal on
the conveyor belt before the metal detector. The red light on the top of the detector should come on and
the conveyor should stop.
Allow approximately one minute for the metal detector to warm up and calibrate itself.
Place a jumper across the two pins labeled “L” and “D” on the circuit board of the metal detector. The
pins are located just above terminals 15 & 16. This will prevent the metal detector from stopping the
conveyor during the set-up process.

Run the conveyor belt without product and make sure that the belt splice sensor is detecting the metal
splice each time it passes the sensor. This can be determined by watching the red light, labeled “Splice
Sensitivity”, in the lower right hand corner of the detector circuit board. It should go out for
approximately two seconds each time the metal splice passes the sensor. If this does not happen, stop
the conveyor belt and loosen the two “U” bolts holding the sensor and move it closer to the belt. It is
important that the belt splice sensor “see” the splice every time.

Splice Sensitivity 0
Splice Time 10
Run the conveyor and increase the “Splice Sensitivity” one number at a time until the splice is detected
by the metal detector. On detection, the green “Ready” light on top of the metal detector will flash
briefly. Set the “Splice Sensitivity” one number below the point at which the splice is detected.
Run the conveyor and reduce the “Splice Time” one number at a time until the splice is again detected
by the metal detector. Leave the “Splice Time” set just above the point where the splice is detected by
the metal detector.
Test the functioning of the metal detector by passing a suitable test piece of metal through the detector.
The green “Ready” light should go out briefly with each detection.

The DIP switches are made of four slide switches mounted in a block on the circuit board. Each slide
switch has a value. The lowest sensitivity is achieved when the DIP switches are all to the left. The
value of each switch is as follows:
Yellow 10
Orange 1.5
Red 0.1
Brown 0.0
When each switch is moved to the right, the sensitivity is increased by the switch value.
All metal detectors are shipped from the factory with the Orange switch to the right for a value of 1.5.
This is the normal setting of the DIP switches. The detector can be made slightly more sensitive by also
moving the Red switch to the right. Only in extremely good environments can the Yellow switch be
moved to the right. At increased sensitivity not only is the detector more sensitive to metal particles, it
also becomes more sensitive to outside interference such as vibration or electrical noise.

MODEL 9000A
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
BASIC
The metal detector has on its control card a number of red indicators or LED’s which monitor the
performance of the metal detector and indicate coil or circuit failures. There are three LED’s on the
front panel in a horizontal line called the Diagnostic LED’s. There is also a status LED above each of
the detector’s blue output relays located on the lower center of the circuit board.
Normal Operation:
The Diagnostic LED’s should be lit as follows: the left LED should be on, the center LED may be on
dim or it may be off, the right LED should be off.
The two lower LED’s above the two relays should be on. Each of these LED’s indicate the status of the
relay below it. The right hand relay is called the “Pulse” relay and the left hand relay is called the
“Latch” relay.
Detection of Metal:
On detection of metal, the three Diagnostic LED’s remain unchanged. A very large piece of metal will
cause the LED’s to brighten considerably.
The lower right hand Pulse LED will go out briefly and then come back on. The lower left hand Latch
LED will go out and stay out until the reset button on the front door of the metal detector cabinet is
pressed.

ADVANCED
As a minimum, a volt/ohm meter is required for the advanced troubleshooting section. It would be quite
helpful to have an oscilloscope for some of the tests mentioned.
A brief description of the theory of operation of the detector will help make the following tests more
understandable.
The metal detector is basically a transmitter and a receiving antenna. The transmitting coil is located in
the upper section of the inspection head and the two receiver coils are located in the bottom. The
transmitter generates an RF field that induces a constant voltage into the receiver coils. One receiver
coils is wired positive and the other is wired negative. Because they have the same voltage in each coil,
when they are added together, the final output of the two coils is zero. This is known as a “balanced
field” detector and maintains very good sensitivity as long as the two coils remain equal, or balanced.
As a piece of metal passes through the field, it will upset the balance of the coils. This is seen by the
electronics of the detector which then triggers output circuits to shut down the conveyor belt or sound
alarms of some kind. Some products are conductive in nature and will disturb the field balance also.
There is a “product” control on the front panel that is used to minimize the effects of conductive
materials.
Please refer to the circuit board layout and operating controls on the opposite page during the
following discussion.
Very basic items should be checked to make sure that the circuit board is at least working. The detector
uses + and – 12 volts DC. The + 12 can be measured at the + 12 test point near the left center of the
circuit board. Likewise, the -12 can be measured at the -12 test point. These are both measured with
respect to ground (Gnd). The metal detector should be turned off and the coils of the detector should
also be checked for continuity. The transmit coil plugs onto the left, top of the circuit board at the
connector marked “OSC”. If you remove the cover of the plug, you will see a clear wire, a blue wire,
and the ground shield. If you measure between the blue and clear wires, you should measure some low
resistance reading, around 3 ohms. It will vary slightly from detector to detector. If it is open or
shorted, the transmitter coil is probably bad and should be replaced. Since the ohm meter reading is very
low, it is easy to assume that it is shorted. This should be checked carefully. Make sure that the
connections are good and there are no “cold solder joints” or shorts between connections. Also make
sure that there is no possibility that they could be shorted to the connector when the cover is put back on.
The receiver coils plug into the top, right of the circuit board at the connect marked “PU”. Remember
that there are two receiver coils. Although there are four pins in the receiver connector, only the first
three are used, the fourth is not connected. Again, there is a blue, clear, and shield wire from the
receiver coils. If you measure between the shield and the blue wire, the resistance should be somewhere
between 50 and 125 ohms. The actual value is not important as long as it is not shorted or open. If you
measure between the shield and the clear wire, you should get the same value. The blue wire is one coil
and the clear wire is the other coil and the shield is the ground for both. Again, make sure there are no
cold solder joints and that there are no shorts or broken wires.

The first item to be checked is to make sure there is a good signal at the transmitter coil. The is done at
TP6 on the upper left of the circuit board. This should be a clean sine wave of about 15 to 16 volts
peak-to-peak. The frequency is just over 4 Khz. If it is distorted, it can cause false triggers of the metal
detector. It is adjusted using the transmitter drive adjustment located just below the heat sink in the
upper left hand corner of the circuit board. The level is set by increasing the drive (clockwise) until the
signal starts to deform. Then back off enough so that the signal is clean and free from distortion.
The receiver signals can be seen at the upper right corner of the circuit board at TPA for one coil and
TPB for the other coil. These are generally small, in the range of 10 to 50 millivolts. They should be a
clean sine wave and should be of equal value. These signals are actually slightly different but the
difference cannot be seen with the oscilloscope. The signals are set against each other, or balanced, to
get the smallest possible signal at TP2. This is done at the factory and should not need to be adjusted in
the field. In order to get the signal at TP2 as low as possible, resistors and capacitors are added to TPA
and/or TPB to make the two signals as identical as possible. The closer they are to being equal, the
smaller the signal will be at TP2 and the dimmer the diagnostics lights will be because they follow the
signal at TP2. If the resistors or capacitors used for balancing are broken, then the unit will be out of
balance and the diagnostic LED’s will be brighter than normal. Observe the three diagnostic LED’s.
They function as a basic bar graph. Normally the left LED will be lit but dim, the center LED will be
out, and the right LED will be out. If, for some reason, the LED’s get brighter, or the right LED begins
to light, it is an indication that the detector is “out of balance” and steps need to be taken to correct the
situation, Call the factory. There is automatic circuitry on the circuit board to maintain the correct
balance of the detector after the initial balancing components have been selected. If you suspect the
unit is out of balance, check the LED’s. The first symptom of an out of balance condition is degrading
of sensitivity, followed by false triggers of the detector. There is automatic circuitry on the circuit
board to maintain the correct balance of the detector. If the signal at TP2 is small, less than 2 volts
peak-to-peak, then the metal detector is considered to be “in balance” and we can move on to additional
testing.
The last major test point is TP12B. This is a changing DC signal that shows the detection level of the
circuitry. The signal hovers around zero volts and changes with the product passing through the detector
coils. If this signal moves positive or negative more than 150 millivolts, the metal detector will trigger.
In general, if there is no product or metal passing through the detector, the level should not move beyond
+ or – 75 millivolts. This is a good spot to check when trying to determine what might be causing false
triggers of the detector. You can watch TP12B and walk around the detector shaking and moving things
to see if there is any reaction at the test point.
If all else fails, give us a call at the factory. We will be more than happy to assist in any way we can.

1. Turn off the power to the metal detector. Be sure all additional sources of power to the
output circuits have also been turned off.
2. Disconnect the two large plugs near the top of the circuit board.
3. Unplug and remove the small rectangular “Balance Board” in the upper right hand corner
of the circuit board. This small board contains the components necessary to “tune” the
circuit board to the detector coils. These components are part of the coil circuit and must
remain with the detector. (On some earlier models the components are soldered directly
to the test pins TPA, TPB, and COMM. These must be unsoldered and moved to the new
circuit board)
4. Remove the wires from the terminals at the bottom of the circuit board. It’s a good idea
to tag each of the wires for easier relocation.
5. Remove the six screws that hold the circuit board in place.
6. Remove the circuit board and put it in a safe place. The replacement circuit board is
shipped in a conductive pouch. The defective circuit board should be placed into the
pouch and returned to the factory for repair.
Installation is the reverse of the above. Make sure to re-install the “Balance Board” on the new circuit
board.
NOTE: The new circuit board should be installed with its controls set to the same settings as the original
circuit board.
